Rolling Stone has no finger on the pulse of society these days. They reflect the past, present and future of music as much as Viacom's MTV does.

So much leftist political bunk, movie hype, fashion layouts, etc. Exactly why does this magazine have a reputation for being about music?

Amen to that. That was the general criticism of the mag when it posted Jar Jar--here the cutting edge of society was so obviously getting it wrong. Just proof that the one relevant mag was now just a mouth piece for the liberal establishment.

Rolling Stone might have been closer to the pulse about 35 years ago, but I'm thinking they were off by the late 70s when they were touting the hipness of 70s California Mellow Rock (Eagles) and snorting derisively at the emerging punk scenes. Mags like Maximum RocknRoll and Trouser Press were closer to the underground. Just proof that hippies are stupid and useless. ;-)
